We've passed 150 downloads. Thank you for your support! This update makes adding books from photos of your bookshelf much easier. We've also redesigned the Statistics screen, added new customization options, and made several other improvements. ■ New Features ・Adding books from bookshelf photos is now much more accurate. Simply take a photo of your bookshelf to add your books without the tedious manual entry. You can also import multiple photos, and the process is easier than ever. Give it a try! ・[Premium] Customize the shelves in your book list. Personalize your book list with five shelf designs and your choice of colors. Free users can also choose from three colors for the standard design. ・We've redesigned the Statistics screen. Choose “Book Mode” to revisit your records as if opening a book, or “Detailed Mode” to explore them in charts. Premium members can also view all-time statistics. ・You can now extract text from photos for notes and quotes. Simply take a photo of a page to save a quote without typing it out. ■ Improvements ・You can now mark books as borrowed. ・We've added an “Other” reading status. Use it for dictionaries, reference books, and other books you don't read from cover to cover. ・You can now sort your book list by the date you started reading or the date you bought a book. ・Scanning the barcode of a book already marked “Want to Read” now changes its status to “To Read” and automatically records today's date as the purchase date. ・CSV imports and exports now support borrowed books and print/e-book formats. ■ Bug Fixes ・Fixed issues that caused the book list to shift position after launch and book covers to flicker. ・Fixed an issue where some books were not sorted correctly by volume number. ・Improved how Premium membership status is refreshed when your internet connection is restored.
